Packaging & Label Design for Brands in Vanuatu

Vanuatu (population approximately 320,000, capital Port Vila on Efate island) is the Pacific's most linguistically diverse nation, with approximately 110 indigenous Bislama (Vanuatu Pidgin), English, and French language communities across 80+ islands. Vanuatu is internationally recognised as producing the world's finest kava (Piper methysticum, the ceremonial and social beverage root crop): Vanuatu noble kava cultivars (Borogoru, Melo Melo, Leay, and others) are the benchmark quality standard for kava export, with EU, Australian, US, and Japanese buyers distinguishing Vanuatu noble kava from lower-quality 'tudei' varieties. Kava is Vanuatu's largest agricultural export. Vanuatu cocoa (Trinitario hybrid from SHEFA, Sanma, and Malampa provinces) is internationally recognised as fine flavour cocoa by ICCO. Vanuatu is also known as an offshore financial centre and tax haven (no income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax), attracting financial services and citizenship-by-investment programmes. Vanuatu's citizenship-by-investment programme (one of the Pacific's most accessible) has generated significant international scrutiny.
